In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the rapper opens up about her post-“Fancy” life (“I have to be very selective when I grocery shop”) and debunks sex tape rumors (“I would remember if I had a sex tape”). But most interestingly, she also responds to the kind of criticism she’s received from artists such as Azealia Banks: Iggy Azalea doesn’t acknowledge the way white privilege lets her selectively borrow from black culture and reap all the benefits (or, at least, Grammy nominations).

“Well, they don’t say that stuff about Macklemore,” Azalea tells Vanity Fair. “So, yes, I think it has 100,000 percent to do with the fact that I have a vagina.” She’s not entirely right: Macklemore does deal with similar criticism. But Azalea also frequently faces debates about her authenticity, ghostwriting rumors and charges of being “fake” — an accusation that’s more often lobbed at female artists than male ones. (Rapping in an exaggerated southern drawl that’s quite different from her relatively soft-spoken Australian voice, however, certainly does little to discourage those complaints.)

“People have said I’m not real rap or real hip-hop,” Azalea says, “but I don’t care if people think I’m pop or rap. Everyone interprets music differently.”

Between tireless charity work and preparing to give birth to her second child, Shakira has been working on a new album–and she reportedly has some MAJOR collaborations in the pipeline to ensure that it’s a massive hit.

According to one of Spain’s largest newspapers El Mundo, Shakira has recorded with Mexican rock legends Maná, reunited with La Tortura collaborator Alejandro Sanz, and has even collaborated with none other than Iggy Azalea.

Shakira previously confirmed that her next album will be all Spanish, but there’s no word yet on whether Iggy will swap her manufactured Southern drawl for a caliente accent for their song together.

Perhaps the Iggy track will be the lone bilingual crossover single on the album, while the rest of the tracks will be geared towards Latin listeners?

Shakira’s previous collaborations with sexy singers from the urban-pop field, like Rihanna and Beyonce, have proven to be quite successful in the past, so a song with Iggy should be a guaranteed hit.

Anyway, don’t expect new Shakira music for at least a few months–she still needs to give birth first!

Also celebrating last year is Lady Gaga, who made the move from pop into jazz with the help of singing legend Tony Bennett. And luckily she’s also had some designer friends on hand to make sure she starts 2015 off in style.
